Maou t caca e a brk, were talking about the politics of sports, super bowl 50 is run corner, with us caulton tudor, jeff gravley in coach mike minter that coaches the panthers, he spent his entire career with the panthers. Were talking about Jerry Richardson before the break, the owner of the panthers. Of vision for midsize market was a professional sports team. Knew what had to be done in the city of charlotte in the states of north and South Carolina to support it. Had a heart you played for him, he is a unique individual is he not . Unbelievable individual. The greatest businessman out there. When i got a chance , what you see in his business acumen is unbelievable. He understands people, how to motivate people, how to put people on the bus and put them in the right g, and he will drive the bus and that is all he will do. He doesnt worry about what anyone else stauskas he knows he is the right person and he knows how to get personnel. Heres the other thing he is a great man. He loves his people. Anyone who ever worked for him, i dont care if it is in the Restaurant Business or the football business, they all love him because he loves them. I just cant say enough about them. When he became a panther or did you grow into it . I knew immediately, i can look that is in a player. When i saw him the first day i knew. We will win. You are a High Performance player, he is a High Performance businessman, is that fair to say . Absolutely. And i believe those people and they meet each other they come right away to each other. My 2nd year in the league he looks at me, he came to the practices every now and then on his cart and he put me on the cards. Okay lets get the card. Everyone elses messing with me because i am a young dude on the cart. Of the game. So i sat there and i said okay, what are we can talk about . He looked up and said son limitation think, you will i like you. Okay. That is all he said, very direct, short and to the point. When you left it wasnt an easy decision. It was tough. When i went in there to talk to him, we crying like babies, it was like talking to my dad. He saw me through up from a young man he helped me in certain ways in the great think, he understood how much i loved him, and that year a retired he let me go in travel with him to every game. So i was on the other side. I was in my suit, with the owner, talking to don fox, you are coaching me anymore. Im talking you. And the great thing about star players, the super bowl, every panther employee from interns to superstars he is flying the super bowl. That is the kind of person you want to work for in work with and perform for. He did that the first year also. The year we went he did the same thing. He understands people. Not many owners are for players. He wants to bring the he has talked about it repeatedly. Im not sure the snow event we had 2 weeks ago will sit well for us, but i think he will, jerry is well respected among the owners, and they make the decisions. In the league absolutely. I think charlotte will get a super bowl, the residual affects in our market may not be great but it wld be important for North Carolina to we we may never have a world series unfortunately, but if we could have a super bowl, i think that the great. Mike when did you first pick up a football . I picked up a sock before a football. When i was 3 or 4 years old i remember, blowing up the sock and running around the house, playing football by myself. Playing in the super bowl, diving on the couch and putting holes in the wall and mom looking at me like i was crazy. From day one, as far as i could remember i love the game. When did you know you could play, that you had a gift . My 3rd grade year. With a sock. In 3rd grade, and went out for football the first time and i couldnt even put my pants in my pants right. Michael chen to come in and put the pads and show me how to do that, and as soon as i touched the football it was like okay this is at home. So we went, championship, city championship, my first year escort always touchdowns and everyone said, this guy is great. I was loving it and as i continue to move from level to level, when i got to nebraska, and a kid got drafted in the 5th round and he came back to work out with us. He was a safety. I said if he got drafted i know i am going to. And when you were drafted, that moment had to of been magical. In a chair and i didnt move from the time the draft started to the 56 pick, i was stoic, looking with intensity, owing it would happen but not knowing when. And then you get the phone call and you get on the phone and you say hello this is Carolina Panthers in your the next pic. It was like the world stopped.
